That's almost 6MPH slower than her main squeeze - who is also a rookie.
I found it interesting that they were discussing how difficult it must be for Stenhouse this season as he is used to knowing that he has a
good chance to win each and every race he enters and this season that's not the case being a rookie in the Cup series.
Iwanica has never known that feeling of having a good chance to win in her entire car in automobile racing. In her case, the best feeling she has ever brought to a race track was that she had a good chance of finishing the race if she doesn't hit anything...
1 win in her entire automobile racing career - and that was a fuel mileage win dictated by her crew chief risking her running out of gas. Still a win - she didn't cheat - so she got the trophy - ONCE...
It must be real depressing knowing that you have a car capable of winning, a team capable of winning and then realizing that the only reason your car and team aren't in victory lane occasionally is because you are the driver.
